Page 4: Overview
Sola Neumasem Plus Drill Control Overview The Sola Neumasem Drill Control monitors several functions of the seed drill, sets the seeding width, and controls the tramlining function of both conventional and pneumatic type seed drills. The instrument has an illuminated 4-digit display with 6 display functions and alarm functions for forward speed, fan rpm, seed distribution shaft rpm and hopper level. -

Page 7: Speed Sensor Calibration
Sola Neumasem Plus Drill Control Speed Sensor Calibration The forward speed sensor is magnetically operated and senses the seed shaft rotation. In order to display the correct speed and accumulate area correctly, the instrument must be programmed with the correct Speed Sensor Factor (SSF). This is the distance travelled between two signal pulses received from the sensor. - Page 8 Sola Neumasem Plus Drill Control Drive the vehicle until the chosen reference point on the tractor/implement is opposite the second marker. The instrument counts and displays the sensor pulses received over the distance travelled. Press the button to complete the Autocal routine (fig.

Page 9: Area Total / Implement Width
Sola Neumasem Plus Drill Control Area Total / Implement Width The area is derived from the forward speed and the programmed implement width and is accumulated to whichever total is selected on the display – total 1 or total 2. -
Page 10: View/Set Implement Width
